Limited Fish Choice

Any suggestions about what to get for my second fish. I am thinking to add one more fish and that's it since I only have a 20 gallon fish tank. I currently have 2 coral banded shrimps and 1 small maroon clown. I am pretty new to this and started my tank at this time last year. I started over once already so I don't wanna pick the wrong fish this time. Right now I am only doing FOWLR but later I wanna have some corals as well. I was thinking to get a small six line wrasse but I heard that they tends to eat pods from LR. I am looking for fish that swims more, unlike my maroon who always stays at one place.

There are a bunch of dottybacks to choose from. They are fairly aggressive characters but if added after your other inhabitants, they shouldn't bother them. They dart around alot throughout the rocks, and are highly colorful. Most of the species also remain small.3-4inches long, but skinny. The basslets may be another good choice for you to look at. Royal gramma etc. Very colorful fish with some personality.

I have a FOWLR tank that size. I plan to start out with a pair of clowns and a cleaner shrimp, and then I am going to add a royal gramma. They add plenty of color and swim around more than the clown. They are also peaceful and shouldn't pick fights with what you've already got. That's what I am going to get, anyway. :)

Aren't scooter blennies eat pods just like mandarin?? :confused: :confused: I wanna try to stay away with fish that eat pods. I like royal gramma as well so I may just go with claw's idea to go with a royal gramma. What about a neon 4-line wrasse?? Anyone out there have any experience with the 4-line???

Why do you care if your fish eats the pods? What else were you going to do with them? Just a thought? Most fish will eat pods!

Yah I am afraid that they only eat pods. I don't think I have any pods in my tank at all. BTW, how can you creates pods in the tank?? with a refugium??
